Corrour railway station

Corrour railway station is on the West Highland Line, Scotland. It is situated near Loch Ossian and Loch Treig, on the Corrour Estate. It is the highest mainline railway station in the United Kingdom.

Location

The railway station is one of the most remote stations in the United Kingdom, at an isolated location on Rannoch Moor. The station is not accessible by any public roads – the nearest road is 10 miles (16 km) away. In 1997 a new station house, including lodging for its managers, was commissioned by Corrour Estate. Designed by Law & Dunbar-Nasmith Partnership, it was erected as a provisions shop and restaurant to serve hillwalkers. After several previous ventures in this location, the Station House was opened again as a restaurant in July 2015.

At 408 m (1,339 ft) above sea level the station provides a convenient starting point for hill-walkers and Munro-baggers. The station was the starting point for the "Man with no Name" whose body was found in 1996 on Ben Alder and only identified some years later.
